The stats reflect him quite well but he is a better dribbler, the player is one of the most talented midfielders of his generation. I'll be looking forward to see what he can do in the Asian Cup and Division 1. He was loaned to J2 side Oita Trinita but he is back to Cerezo Osaka, they're going to play ACL next season.

2006 AFC U-17 MVP now back with Cerezo Osaka after a two year spell at J2 Side Tokushima Vortis. Kakitani came from the same generation of players that produced players such as Shinji Kagawa, Hiroshi Kiyotake, Genki Haraguchi and Takashi Inui.

As there's a proper J.League patch out there for PES2012, here are several J2 player stats that will probably be added to the standard format soon. All of them have played many years in either division. Some o the ratings are perhaps a little low, but it is always better to underrate than overrate

Takayuki Suzuki is a prototype defensive forward who uses his physical attributes to force opposition defenders into mistakes. Although Suzuki rarely gets into good scoring positions, he is very adept at building up play and setting up teammates.

Yutaka Tahara is a powerhouse striker blessed with a world class body. Tahara never came close to achieving his potential and now at 30 will probably never. His major weakness is his low football IQ, which can be describe as equivalent of a high school kid.

BOOTS/ACCESSORIES: Mizuno Ignitus 2 Blue White/ Shirt Tail Tucked-In/ Glooves Auto/ TapeUtility man Nagai came from the same U-20 generation as Inamoto, Miyamoto, Ono, Yanagisawa, Endo and Sogahata. Although his career never reached the same heights as the others, he was always a very exciting albeit frustrating player to watch. Now 33, Nagai joins what has become the retirement club for former Japanese NT players, Yokohama FC alongside the ageless Kazuyoshi Miura.

Kurobe is a pure striker, once hailed as the future of Japan. After a very promising start at then Kyoto Purple Sanga, Kurobe has since journeyed through clubs such as Cerezo Osaka, Urawa Reds and JEF United, mostly playing back-up roles, followed by a spell at J2 side Avispa Fukuoka which yielded modest results. Now at the twilight of his career, J2 newcomers Kataller Toyama must surely be his final station. At the very least he'll be a big fish in a small pond.
